Training

At WAGS, we believe that effective training is essential to transforming shelter dogs’ lives, which is why we provide our services free of charge to county shelters and newly adopted dogs. Our mission, supported by donations, focuses on enhancing the lives of these dogs by equipping them with essential skills and ensuring they find forever homes where they can thrive. Through our dedicated training programs, we aim to make a positive impact in our community and beyond.

At WAGS, we provide shelter dogs with a nurturing environment where they can decompress and experience love before undergoing structured training to become Smart Pups. During this critical period, our training staff assesses each dog's readiness and implements daily routines that focus on rehabilitation, skill development, and positive reinforcement through engaging tasks and games, ensuring they thrive both emotionally and behaviorally.

At WAGS all Dogs are provided with comprehensive documentation from arrival to adoption, designed to guide both the dog’s journey and the new family's understanding, fostering a successful and harmonious transition into their forever homes.
